Stellenzicht RHAPSODY Stellenbosch RSA
Description: Known initially as Rustenberg and later Alphen, this vineyard at one time belonged to the Baimsfather-Cloete family who produced the famous Constantia wines. In 1981 the estate was acquired by Hans-Joachim Schreiber who renamed it Stellenzicht or in its literal translation 'View of Stellen' . Winemaker Guy Webber has combined his expertise with Shiraz and his love of Pinotage to produce Rhapsody. A blend of 53% Pinotage and 47% Shiraz, it melds the outstanding characteristics of both these varietals to create a new wine that is greater than the sum of its parts. This wine is an intense, rich ruby colour with a distinct, youthful purple tinge. A rich complexity of aromas including mocha and dark chocolate combine with the spicy sweetness of ripe plums and roasted almonds. A full-bodied wine with succulent, ripe fruit flavours the polished structure with Fruit and wood seamlessly integrate while softer tannins make for early enjoyment. Grapes were sourced from vineyards in the Stellenbosch area and grown on slopes facing west and north-west on soils originating from decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone. Ranging in age from 6 to 14 years and at altitudes of 150 m to 300 m the grapes are pruned and trained in order to balance the growth and yields for absolute quality. Receiving no supplementary irrigation, the yields from both vineyards were lower than usual due to very selective picking and averaged out at below six tons per hectare. The grapes were harvested by hand and after destalking and crushing, the mash was fermented in stainless steel tanks at 29° C with selected pure yeast cultures . The juice was separated from the skins after five days. Once malolactic fermentation was complete the wine was matured in a combination of French , American and Hungarian oak. Mostly new oak was used with a combination of second and third-fill . (6 x 75 cl)
